No-Gap Fee for WorkSafe

A work-related injury may be eligible for treatment under the WorkSafe model. JBA Physio is experienced in providing the required paperwork for the employer and the insurance company for work-related injuries.

Our physiotherapists are also proficient in their communication with the employer, the insurance company and your rehabilitation consultant, as required.

Under the WorkSafe model, the employer must accept liability for the injury of the worker. If the claim is accepted, the insurance company will pay reasonable costs in relation to treatment for a specific claim.
